Exegesis
The final clause ouk apōlesa ex autōn oudena {οὐκ ἀπώλεσα ἐξ αὐτῶν οὐδένα | ouk apṓlesa ex autôn oudéna} combines aorist past action with emphatic negation, making the preservation claim absolute: not one from among that group was lost.
In context — John 18:9
This came about so that the statement He had made would be brought to completion: “From the ones You have given Me, I did not lose even one.”
